Maplin have a returns dept selling B Grade customer returns, tho not all items are heavily discounted.

Whilst browsing I discovered IMHO a relative bargain.;)

Its an AMD 3000/939skt processor with a current, tho moderate motherboard around the price of the processor alone (£90minus1p), free post, and if you subscribe to thier newsletter a £7.50 discount voucher is available. Spend another £10.01 and the discount increases to £10. The new price is £150, on offer at mo (was £200 less 1p).
So a near 60% saving ( on MAPLIN price only, I'm sure someone will pop my bubble as usual )

They had 3 left after I got mine

HTHs, Scat.

I can only see B Grade Athlon 64 3000's (item B89AD) at £89.99 with no mention of a motherboard included. That doesn't seem so much of a bargain, though ties in with Maplin trying to sell it at £149.99 new. Am I missing something?

when you add to basket it shows bundle

OP edited, to show correct link ( in my haste to post,I picked a similar link, not the one I had used, SORRY, , as there are 3 links very nearly the same)

There is only ONE left now.

Ooh temptation!! Get thee behind me Satan! Seems a great deal - unfortunately just blew my spare dosh on a new graphics card, but looks a pretty impressive offer for a m/board and processor.

B grade bundle is discontinued now

All Gone now, will let you know if it all works out as advertised, the board is an ECS nVidia4 939, no overclocking or firewire, maybe has raid? matches DFI for speed. The cpu goes for around £100 at Aria/eBuyer etc .

:j Happy Scat

I found another one,£99 this time with a ECS 755-A agp motherboard and B Grade Ath 64 3000+.

Just search for B GRADE to find it, 3 left when posting this.

only cpu came today

Just thought I'd point out that the item here:

http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=-34&doy=24m5D

marked as "B Grade" almost certainly isn't the motherboard bundle - just the CPU (as per the previous post in this thread). The reason being is that if you do a search for B Grade - you'll see this same code B99AD listed under "AMD 64 processors" (no mention of motherboard) for the same price and the same number of items in stock.

I saw this yesterday and really could not make out whether the £89 included the motherboard or not. Taking another look it's not clear and if Maplin won't supply both the processor and motherboard I think a note to your local trading standards would be appropriate along with the printout of the relevant pages.
